https://collection.petecahill.com/191/pong-2/#respondWed, 01 Jan 2020 06:08:00 +0000https://collection.petecahill.com/?p=191This cabinet variation of Atari’s iconic Pong video arcade game includes a design change where the front lower kick panel of the cabinet is angled inward versus the original cabinet with a flat panel. Presumably, this revision was made to allow room for the players feet while standing in front of the game. It is unknown when Atari made this design change.

Like its predecessor, this game is complete and features a baker’s bread pan as a makeshift coin box. After a several years-long search to acquire a Pong ended successfully some 800 miles away from home, this second cabinet was unearthed for a fraction of the cost and less than 20 minutes away. Stranger things have happened. Being a completest, I couldn’t bring myself to re-sell this variant to recoup the cost of the first game.
